DESCRIPTION

       gbp  import-orig  imports  upstream-source  into  the  Git repository. upstream-source can
       either be a gzip, bzip2, lzma or xz compressed tar archive, a zip archive, or  an  already
       unpacked  source  tree. If it is already of the form package-name_version.orig.tar.gz, the
       version information is read from the tarball's filename, otherwise it can be given on  the
       command  line  via  --upstream-version.   If  the  source package name or version can't be
       determined, gbp import-orig will prompt for it unless --no-interactive is given.

       The sources are placed on the upstream branch (default: upstream), tagged and merged  onto
       the debian branch (default: master).

OPTIONS

       --version
              Print version of the program, i.e. version of the git-buildpackage suite

       -v

       --verbose
              Verbose execution

       -h

       --help Print help and exit

       --color=[auto|on|off]
              Whether to use colored output.

       --color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME
              Colors  to  use  in  output (when color is enabled). The format for COLOR_SCHEME is
              '<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'.  Numerical values and color names are accepted,
              empty  fields  imply the default color. For example, --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::'
              would show debug messages in cyan, info messages in  blue  and  other  messages  in
              default (i.e. warning and error messages in red).

       --upstream-version=version

       -uversion
              The upstream version number

       --[no-]merge
              Merge the upstream branch to the Debian branch after import

       --merge-mode=[merge|replace]
              How to fold the newly imported upstream source to the Debian packaging branch after
              import.

              The default mode merge does a Git merge leaving you on your own in  case  of  merge
              conflict resolution.

              replace  mode  on  the  other  hand  makes  the head of the Debian packaging branch
              identical to the newly imported tree but  preserves  the  content  of  the  debian/
              directory  while  keeping  the current head as well as the newly important trees as
              parents of the generated commit. This is similar to a theirs merge  strategy  while
              preserving debian/.

       --upstream-branch=branch_name
              The  branch  in  the  Git  repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is
              upstream.

       --debian-branch=branch_name
              The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on,  default
              is  master. After importing the new sources on the upstream branch, gbp import-orig
              will try to merge the new version onto this branch.

       --upstream-vcs-tag=tag-format
              Add tag-format as additional parent to the commit of the upstream  tarball.  Useful
              when upstream uses git and you want to link to its revision history. The tag-format
              can be a pattern similar to what --upstream-tag supports.

       --[no-]sign-tags
              GPG sign all created tags

       --keyid=gpg-keyid
              use this keyid for gpg signing tags

       --upstream-tag=tag-format
              use this tag format when tagging upstream versions, default is upstream/%(version)s

       --import-msg=msg-format
              use this format string for the commit message  when  importing  upstream  versions,
              default is Imported Upstream version %(version)s

       --filter=pattern
              filter out files glob-matching pattern. Can be given multiple times.

       --[no-]pristine-tar
              generate pristine-tar delta file

       --[no-]filter-pristine-tar
              if using a filter, also filter the files out of the tarball passed to pristine-tar

       --[no-]symlink-orig
              Whether  to  create and keep a symlink from the upstream tarball to a Debian policy
              conformant upstream tarball name located in ../.

              This is a good idea if not using  pristine-tar  since  it  avoids  creating  a  new
              tarball with a different md5sum.

       --postimport=cmd
              run cmd after the import.

       --uscan
              Use uscan to fetch new upstream version.

       --uscan
              Download the tarball from the given HTTP URL. This needs python-request installed.

       --[no-]interactive
              Run command interactively, i.e. ask package name and version if needed.

EXAMPLES

       Download and import a new upstream version using the information from debian/watch

             gbp import-orig --uscan

       After downloading an upstream tarball by hand, import it

             gbp import-orig ../upstream-tarball-0.1.tar.gz

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Several  gbp.conf  files  are parsed to set defaults for the above command-line arguments.
       See the gbp.conf(5)> manpage for details.
